and
PURPOSE
as well as...
GOALS

REWARDS!
My IM journey has required me to be motivated. Motivated to log onto my sites. Motivated to keep developing my plan. Motivated to check in on web forums.
My weight loss journey required me to have a purpose, my purpose was to lose weight. Reminding myself of my purpose helped me keep on task and helped keep me motivated.
My IM journey required me to have a purpose, my purpose was to earn money. Reminding myself that I was doing this to build a living for myself has helped me keep on task and motivated.
My weight loss journey required me to have goals, lose one pound this week, run a mile 3x this week, and so forth. By having fitness goals, I had something to work towards within my overall purpose and was able to be on task and motivated.
My IM journey has required me to have goals, build one site today, write an article, build 10 backlinks, and so forth. By having these IM goals I was working towards something every day that worked with overall purpose and was able to stay on task and motivated.
My weight loss journey had rewards, a new dress for a milestone reached, being able to do more, having more energy. Both mental and tangible rewards helped me keep motivated to reach my goals and work towards something with a purpose.
My IM journey has rewards, more money, recognition, more money, front page of google by reaching to points where I got these rewards I was able to keep motivated to reach my goal and work towards a purpose!
See the theme here?
So next time you are lacking the motivation, pick up a pen and paper and think about it. What is your Motivation? Purpose? GOALS? and What are the REWARDS?
Build a schedule to reach your goals, you will be rewarded within time for your efforts or create your own rewards, 2days of link building today means 1day off or 1day doing something other than link building towards your site.
Alternate schedule so you don't get bored, if you get too bored with a fitness routine you switch it up, it makes it more challenging and fun. So keep at it and keep going.
Those are my inspirational words of the day.
Thanks!
